Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch 1 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), make sure that locking has
not been deactivated by mistake and
check that the doors and tailgate are
properly closed. If they are correctly
locked and the fault is still present, con-
tact an authorised dealer.
Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the central door unlock- ing switch 1.
– at a standstill, by opening a front door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it
will automatically lock again when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

A call is always made as follows:
– the call is set up with the emergency services;
– data related to the event is sent out;
– voice communication with the emer- gency services;
– if necessary, emergency assistance is called.
Emergency call has two modes:
– automatic mode;
– manual mode;
1 Phone network availability light: on if
network available (green light), off if
network not available;
2 Automatic mode warning light;
3 SOS switch;
4 Microphone;
5 Speaker.
If the vehicle is equipped with it, the
emergency call is a system that allows
the emergency services to be called
automatically or manually in the event
of an accident or illness, in order to
reduce the time they take to arrive on
the scene.
If you use the emergency call func-
tion to report an accident which you
have witnessed, this implies stopping
where traffic conditions allow to allow
the emergency services to locate your
vehicle and therefore the location of the
reported accident.
Use emergency call only in
the event of an emergency
if you are involved in or wit-
ness an accident or if you
feel ill.In the event of an accident,
it is recommended that you
stay close to the vehicle so
that you can respond to the
call centre if necessary.
1.18
EMERGENCY CALL (2/2)

Manual mode
The emergency call is triggered by
pressing switch 3.
Emergency call has two modes:
– in normal mode by pressing switch 3
for more than 3 seconds;
– in panic mode by pressing switch 3
five times in less than 10 seconds.
Automatic mode
When warning light 2 is on, this indi-
cates that the automatic system is ac-
tivated.
With ignition switched on, the emer-
gency call is triggered automatically in
the event of an accident with airbag ac-
tivated. Data are transmitted to the call
centre (vehicle identification plate, time
of the call, vehicle position, direction of
the vehicle, etc).
The automatic emergency call is acti-
vated by default and can be disabled
on request of the user at an Approved
Dealer. In the event of unintended operation, it
is possible to cancel the call by press-
ing switch 3
for 2 seconds before the
call to the call centre is set up.
Once a call is established, only the call
centre can end the call.
Operating faults
In some cases, the emergency call
function may not work:
– no fault detected and phone network
unavailable;
– low battery;
– ...
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault, the warning light 1 turns red;
consult an Approved Dealer as soon as
possible.

For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Heated seats
With the ignition on:
– pressing the switch 4 on the required
seat for the first time activates the
heating system at maximum power.
Both integrated switch warning lights come on;
– a second press decreases the heat- ing to minimum power. One inte-
grated warning light comes on;
– pressing for the third time turns the heating off.

Ventilated seats
Ventilation seats work on the princi-
ple of absorbing and exporting the air
in the passenger compartment without
using the vehicle’s air conditioning and
heating functions. For the best perform-
ance, you are advised to use this func-
tion with air conditioning switched on. With the ignition on:
– pressing the switch
6 on the re-
quired seat for the first time activates
the ventilation system at maximum
power. Both integrated switch warn-
ing lights come on;

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/4)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view ;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
1.24
SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

ßDriver’s seat belt reminder
and, depending on the vehi-
cle, front passenger seat belt re-
minder
This lights up on the central display
when starting the engine then, if the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and
a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-
onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder (depending
on vehicle)
Warning light
ß lights up on the
central display, accompanied by the
graphic 6 on the instrument panel for
approximately 30 seconds each time
the vehicle is started, a door is opened
or a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas-
tened. Check that the rear passengers are
wearing seat belts and that the number
of seat belts shown as fastened cor-
responds to the number of rear seat
places occupied.

Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Front airbags for driver and
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monito- ring which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will generate
heat, produce smoke (this does not
mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.
